Because the OOFEM team tries very hard to release stable and
as-bug-free-as-possible distributions, we tend to take a long time
between major releases. However, there are many useful new features
(and bug fixes) in our internal Subversion tree that some users have
asked for access to. Additionally, for those who are actually
developping OOFEM, online development repository access gives the most up-to-date
versions rather than the periodic tarball access. As such, the OOFEM
team has decided to provide read-only access to the OOFEM git repository.

Be aware, however, that the head of the development code tree is not
guaranteed to be stable. For the most part, we try very hard to not
commit things that are broken, but this is an active development tree
– bugs happen. This is actually another major reason that this tree has
been made available: peer review. If you find any bugs, please report
them! Contributions, suggestions, and comments are welcome.

What is Git?

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system. If
you want to know more about git, we
suggest you read the Git book.

Anonymous Git Access

Browsing the Sources

To grab a copy of the latest version of OOFEM using anonymous git
access, you need git installed. Then to clone git repository,
enter:

git clone https://github.com/oofem/oofem.git

Once you've checked out a copy of the source tree, you can update your
source tree at any time so it is in sync with the latest and greatest
by entering your oofem.git directory and running the command:

Because you've only been granted anonymous access to the tree, you
won't be able to commit any changes. Changes can be submitted for
inclusion by posting them to the oofem mailing list. For those that
are actively contributing git commit access can be made
available.
